I think it was Phil O, or maybe Joe Hesketh, who did it and wrote about it on DIRx. tootricky and I (and maybe NickB) are planning on doing it with Neil Brock early next year.

Did mine with Brocky. As always, its not the course but the the quality of the instructor which counts and you can't do better than Mr B...

no some will give you the pre requisits as part of the course!
you'll become a temp employee and will also be sent on a manafactures course!

No breach of standards on that count!

I only really want to do the course for information, as last time I took a first stage apart I had bits leftover after I put it back together

and having 8 sets of regs is getting expensive on the servicing!

need to find a supplier of Poseidon service kits as well (nudge nudge Fin..........)

All depends on the quality of the instructor .... Neil Brock is first class - 3 days in his workshop on the TDI O2 Tech course was probably the best training and value I've had from any course.

Depending on your experience and how many types of regs you are working on you'll need to put the hours in on the course to get the best from it.

Wink Second Third & Fourth that....
I did a service course with Mr B - you get a hell of a lot more than the course basics ,and new instrucors can't suddenly aquire decades of knowlege that Neil has.......and guess where some of the most high profile tech instrucors get thier kit serviced...
